8. Natalya's Journal 3

I do not own Hetalia okay? I got a decent response to this story and it is a kind of challenge to write it in this format. But anyway, enough of this A/N on with the fic!

July 5th 1914

(from the diary of Natalya Jones nee Arlovskaya)

Big brother and Fredka are out back talking, why he has to keep checking up on us I don't know, but I guess he may need time away from big sister. But honestly he sees Fredka at work every day. Monday through Friday. Sometimes I wonder if big brother wishes he was a girl so he could have married him instead of me. I am being paranoid I guess. Ever since Mother and Father died and we moved out of Russia, he has always been this way towards me and Katyusha. She may be completely hopeless, but even if I wasn't married, I am not.

We did have an interesting conversation on the way home from church today. I insisted I would not change churches when we were married, so instead of having to go to that Protestant one he occasionaly attended as a bachelor, he came to the same one, big brother, sister and I go to. Which is good. He's still getting used to the differences but hasn't committed any major as it is called, 'faux pas'. I will be 23 in August and Fredka did just turn 26. I had mentioned this after the service ended and he nodded. I then stated that I was wanting to become a mother soon and he smiled greatly at the prospect. Apparently he had been thinking much the same and did not know quite how to ask about it. Seemed rather embrassed. Why, I do not see any reason why he should be ashamed of the fact. I do know what needs to be done and we are husband and wife. And we have made love before, so why the blush? Guess that is his childish side coming out. We were also in public and not too far from Vanya, so that may have been it.

I am glad we are on the same train of thought on the matter though. I may convince him once Vanya goes home to get started on the attempt tonight. While he does respect my wishes on the matter, he has yet to be one to say no, should I ask.

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? (for a journal entry.) Let me know in a review. I'm going to try and get the others entries for this day up today. Just depends on how I am feeling. Anyway remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now
